Abstract	Youth unemployment poses a significant global challenge, with India increasingly facing this daunting issue. The lack of job opportunities other than the agriculture sector has exacerbated the problem over time. India’s vast workforce remains underutilized, highlighting the pressing challenge of youth unemployment in the current economy. To address this issue, there is a need to enhance educational attainment and skill development among the youth population. Despite improvements in enrolment rates, the declining proportion of youth in the labour force underscores the persistent problem of youth unemployment and underemployment in India. Economic reforms have not been successful in creating sufficient employment opportunities for youth, posing a threat to the country’s future. Effective planning and strategies by the government and private sectors are essential to educate, train, and employ unemployed youths. Multi-faceted approaches are required to tackle youth unemployment and pave the way for sustainable development.
